Careless Hearts - Careless Hearts
Another highlight of the CD is the reflective “Never to Return” where the singer tries to understand his own life and some of his actions. After his father walks out when he is three, he gets married at age 23. “I never thought I’d see a sunrise, without her there beside me, until I woke up May 14 of 1999. I looked at her sleeping form, cursed the day I was born, cursed my mama and my pa and walked out of the door.” This song really hit me at first. May 14, 1999 is MY Exact wedding day (Don’t worry Michelle, you’re stuck with me!) Two of my other favorite tunes are the previously mentioned “Can’t Tell a Man,” a rowdy roadhouse type tune that must sound great live, and the rocker “Ravenous.” All in all, Careless Hearts is a very enjoyable debut CD from a band I look forward to hearing more from in the future.
